October 27, 2007 - Cruising around the Moon - A Magical All Hallows Eve

[vital]

Yay! I'm so glad things are going good Kim!

Hmmm, my list..........I don't eat fish, play with feet, shoot tequila and......nope, that's about it!:lmao: pirate:

[vital]

Alas, most likely not. I'm taking Sarah, our sitter and wouldn't want to make her uncomfortable with a man in the room! :goodvibes

I would suggest that Ronnie needs a roomate, but we never know who he might invite back to the love shack!:banana:

[Kimmielee]

Ok, I was a good girl according to YOUR list!! :lmao:

[DreamCruiser100]

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.............I think I'll stop commenting now. :rolleyes1

Glad your evening went well Kimmie!!

[PaDisneyCouple]

Well, I'm tired since my routine has become getting up at 445 AM and doing my exercises. I'll check back in the morning!


In an attempt to inspire me to exercise, Sean periodically reminds me "Vital gets up really early to workout". Last week I started a new routine at the gym (4 days per week). Now I'm trying to do Pilates at home on the other days as I have done in the past. It's difficult with it being dark in the morning and it's still winter up here. (we have snow from 2 weeks ago).:cold: Maybe when some of that warm Southern air comes our way I'll be able to stick to my routine. I saw a swimsuit in a magazine but the manufacturer does not have it on their website yet. If I can find out more about it and am able to purchase it, I will have much more incentive to exercise.:beach: So, off to bed for a good night's sleep so I can get up early and go to the gym :yay:

Gosh, I never thought I'd be an inspiration!:laughing: I'll start blowing some warm air up your way so you can feel better. When our weather got warm, it was like a wake up call and I feel better! Maybe I was a bear in my past life and used to hibernate.

Well, off to watch Deal or No Deal! Maybe I'll win the lucky case game!pirate:

[rer1972]

I would suggest that Ronnie needs a roomate, but we never know who he might invite back to the love shack!:banana:

Really, was just expecting to do the bird watching. I thought of catching someone didn't even cross my mind.:rolleyes1

[rer1972]

Ok, I was a good girl according to YOUR list!! :lmao:

What about his new wife? :confused3

It's a very open relationship. Very open.:teeth:

[vital]

Can I just tell y'all how sore my whole body is? I had to take some advil before the workout b/c I don't think I could move afterwards if I didn't! I hope all you horses appreciate what the birds do to keep their feathers looking good! (not that mine do, but they will)

Didn't win the Lottery or Deal or No Deal so I must continue to work for now. Y'all have a good day!pirate:

[PaDisneyCouple]

Gosh, I never thought I'd be an inspiration!:laughing:

Anyone who gets up at 445am to exercise is: 1. inspiring :worship: or 2. crazy :crazy2: (or both!:lmao:) I think Sean is really trying to use peer pressure when he says you get up early to exercise. He's up very early also. I hear him moving :tiptoe: about in my half-awake state and my mind is trying to figure out what day it is, what is that noise, what time is it? I started week 2 of my workout routine. After 4 weeks the trainer will change it to make it interesting for me (and my body) :Pinkbounc

[PaDisneyCouple]

By the way, I rescued us from page 2 with my previous post.

I feel obligated to comment on other topics so I do not appear self-centered.

Kimmielee-we have been following your dating and we're very happy for you :)

Woo-hoos: um, interesting...don't know what to say. I guess as a female I have no comment, only to say do the research and make the right decision for yourself. Of course, you know the birdwatchers will be eager to check out the new, improved feathers.

The topic of personal info: We don't have any for now, will have to think of some. Right now my goal is to get a picture of us posted (digital newbies--dont want it to be 4 times the size of the screen). Sean spends more time on the DIS so he usually updates me on the latest info. A fly on the wall of our house may wonder if we're talking about close friends or a TV soap opera, not some people we have never met ;)

:ssst:

Woops. You caught me talking to myself.

:rolleyes1

[Disneygrl36]

Wow, it's been quiet around here. What gives? :confused3

Kimmielee things are sounding good. I will be keeping you in my thoughts this weekend & hoping for a wonderful time & if all goes well that David gets to meet Noah & that goes well too!!!!

Good job on the excercise Paula & Christine. I need to get my butt in gear too!!!!

Now where the heck is everyone????

HELLO??????????
Can we go yet????

[vital]

Had some rough weather earlier, but all is well now. I have to help my child finish his derby car. I don't think he wants to race it, but we still need to finish it.

Every muscle in my body is mad as #$@^* at me for torturing them this week! I'm thinking of getting a bike so Ethan and I can ride some trails around here. I was looking on Speigal's web site and they have some awesome suits! I may get one and hang it up like that yellow polka dot bikini on the yogurt commercial.

I'm off for now, I'll check back in later!pirate:

[DreamCruiser100]

Checking In!!! Hope all is well..Can't hang out... DD has some studying to do and needs a partner......I'll be back later tonight!!

[Kimmielee]

Hey all!! We stopped on the way home tonight to get Noah a MUCH NEEDED haircut.... then to dinner.

Not too much going on around here. Noah can't understand why he can't go with David and I this weekend. I finally had to tell him that it was a restaurant (hmmmmm.... restaurant/hotel... ok, not TOO much of a lie) that doesn't allow children!! Oh... I'm such a bad Mom! :lmao:

Paula - hooray for you and the great exercising! :yay: I'm eating better... or is it that I have no appetite? Hmmmm... funny how a new relationship does that to ya!

Work is going really well... the other company's underwriters seem like they are a bit more settled and back to normal. I try to make an appearance in their area every couple of days - just to say hi, talk to people, answer loan related questions, etc.

Getting my nails done tomorrow and then Saturday... off to the restaurant that doesn't allow kids. I'm waiting for Noah to ask... "Mommy, why are you spending the night at a restaurant?" :rotfl2:

[PaDisneyCouple]

Had some rough weather earlier, but all is well now.

Paula, we heard about the tornadoes in Alabama. Hopefully your weather was not that severe. And hopefully it will not be too bad when hits those of us in the mid-Atlantic region tonight. We'll probably shut down the pc to guard against possible surges in case the electricity goes out.

For swimsuits have you checked out www.wickedweasel.com ? Or maybe their swimsuits might not be reasonable for a Disney cruise. :rolleyes1 :beach: :stir:

You mean those girls had on bathing suits?:lmao:

Today is a rest day and I feel guilty for not exercising. I guess that's a good sign. Means I'm getting back in the groove.

Kim, have fun! Ethan will be with his dad this weekend and all of my friends are out of town. I think I'll sleep as much as possible!

Sean and Christine, hope the weather isn't too bad. We had some tornado warnings and thunderstorm warnings, but nothing touched down in my area. We've been lucky so far.

I check in during the day but don't post from work. If you feel like you're talking to yourself, just remember I'm looking but can't respond. I try to catch up when I get home. Every now and then there's a comment that I have to respond to. I just hope the computer ppl don't talk too much about me if they decide to watch what I'm doing!

Well, off to shower and get ready for Friday! YAY! I need about 3 more hours of sleep and I'd be doing fine!pirate:

OMG , even 491 needed more fabric? They ask what fabic you would like and I would have to say at least some :rotfl2:. I think you are perfect for the bird watching!

Christine , did you get the ice storm as well? We only got a small touch of the storm and now it is all rain.

Kimmi, A HOTEL? Wow girl you move fast :rotfl:

Paula I was physically impaired last week as well from doing way way too many lunges, I need a butt :rotfl: but I still keep going to the gym and I felt so much better as far as muscles go after that.

O.K woohhoo update. I may not be doing it since I really don't think I am ready right now plus I don't think I want to look like Anna or Pam. I did find a great bra at Victorias Secret ( the new Embrace) which is absolutley amazing, and I am in a D so NO WAY not bigger maybe smaller next year. But this bra does do the push up job without having to wear a sports bra :banana:

We are on a 2 hour school delay so gotta run and get the girls ready and then off to the gym.

Have a great day everyone :)

[ohsodisney]

Ya know I got to thinking. If the men get to take some time out for bird watching, the women should have some time to do some whale watching :banana:

[PaDisneyCouple]

We're back, and better than ever. An homage to Mike and Mike, currently at ESPN the Weekend, at WDW...
Thankfully, just a lot of rain here. At least an inch of it overnight. No ice, I'm happy to say. Very little of our winter precipitation accumulations remain. Hope everyone else is well.
An all-day rifle match for me tomorrow, and a hockey game Sunday evening. Perhaps a date night for us tomorrow...watching POC-DMC. :pirate: And maybe a winter defiance meal this weekend: grilling out on the deck.
Christine prepared some tasty beef enchiladas for dinner last night. Mmmm, good. Beef, bean paste, diced onions, cheese, tomatoes :cloud9: The leftovers will probably be our pre-movie meal.

Kimmi, A HOTEL? Wow girl you move fast :rotfl:



No... it's a restaurant!!! ;)

[ohsodisney]

Wow , Has anyone seen Oprah's The Secret? It is absolutley beyond words and could be life changing. My friend Kenny is one of the instructors at the Y he does holgistics(didn't spell that right) and worked with Dancing with the Stars and so on and so forth, well he showed this movie tonight and it blew me away, I don't think I even blinked at any point through it. You guys have to see this if you have not.

[Disneygrl36]

We just watched "The Guardian"...it was pretty good. Why does Kevin Costner always die in the sea though????? That's the 2nd time.

Anyways, we are planning on a movie "The Queen"-my pick, dinner at the Bonefish Grill & drinks at a martini bar tomorrow as our date night. Probably, just stay home & rest on Sunday.

Long week at work.....not sure why other than we are converting to an all electronic health record & starting the training this week. 4hrs this morning & being issued a very expensive lap top to work on made me feel like this :crazy:.

When is Babs back from the World?????

Where's Chris been????

I didn't even look at the bathing suit thing...I am skeered of bathing suits & looking at a bunch of women looking good in them makes me feel even worse.

pixiedust: for Kimmielee's big DATE. Hubba hubba.

Will have to check out O's secret Maria.

Is it time to go yet?

[ohsodisney]

Hey Melanie, never feel bad about yourself I sure you are a bomb shell in your own rite.
I am swimsuit shopping queen. I think I have somewhere around 10 or so I bought last year. I think it is because I gained so much with the girls and had the weight for a few years that I finally said "thats it I am going to wear that bikini again even if I am 38"! I am going to pick up another at Victorias Secret next week . We camp alot and have a pool so they get lots and lots of use. I refuse too be to old too soon.

Sean, grilling, Yum :) I am ready for some hotdogs , hamburgers and salads again. Oh a good old steak. Barry is an amazing cook and we did the smoker alot last year and made pulled pork , OMG that was the best.

Kimmi, I am so happy for you that you found someone. It seems like a good match. I hope you feel comfortable introducing Noah to him soon.

Melanie did you say Martini's?
Are we there yet?

Off to eat my yogart and then bed.
It has been wonderful having Barry home for the past 2 weeks so I know when he leaves again Monday it won't be the same and it will be take-out again for the girls and I. Luckily he is always home on weekends. We also miss him when he is gone for these long stretches, this time 8-9 weeks.

[A fat english gent]

No... it's a restaurant!!! ;)

WOW You have restaurants with beds....:banana: :lmao: :banana:

[PaDisneyCouple]

Yeeaa, its Saturday! :banana:

Off to the gym and maybe get my car washed & get weeks of road salt gunk off of it.

Looks like its gonna be a nice day. :cool2:

[vital]

We have to go to the Boy Scouts Pinewood Derby this morning. UGH! I have to put the wheels on Ethan's car. When we get home, we are gonna wash the car and play outside. Going to be in the
60's again today. I LOVE spring. I have to do my weights today but I think I'll do that tonight. Hope everyone has a good day!pirate:

OH, I went to Target and checked out the dollar spot and found a POTC tiny bag, headband and lanyard. I'm stocking up on the cruise. If we had a headcount of all the kiddo's, I'd get a POTC purse/bag for the trick or treating for everyone. They are only a buck afterall!

[ohsodisney]

I just found my 40th birthday trip :banana: :cool1: . It is through Adventuresingoodcompany.com. It is for women only and it has some amazing trips. I have always wanted to go out West to the Titons and see other sites so I was so excited to find this. Barry doesn't know about it yet but I am going. I LOVE to hike and whitewater raft but that excursions is pricey , we will have to see.

Well off to work have a wonderful day everyone :)

[vital]

So, what's the secret? I don't know if I have broadband. How do you know that? I have DSL Ultra from bellsouth. Oh well, I guess that's one more secret I'll miss out onpirate:

[ohsodisney]

Paula. It's a 1 1/2 hour documentary type of thing. It can be rented I believe or purchased but it really is something worth the purchase. They talk about The Secret to life basically and how to use the power of attraction for everything to get what. they say when you keep thinking about negative things IE bills, divorse etc that this is what you will attract unless you change your way of thinking to something postive , then they say you will attract all the postive, It goes really really deep into the subject. They say all the great philosophers , presidents and sucessful business people use this.
I like I said was absolutley sucked itno this and truely believe in everything they told me and i will use to tools they say we all have. I am going to be rich, travel, have great health and yup perfect woohoo's :rotfl2: :rotfl: :lmao:

[Cheshire Figment]

WOW You have restaurants with beds....:banana: :lmao: :banana:
If driving in the direction of Tampa on I-4 and you take Exit 32, almost directly across the street from where the ramp hits US 98 is both a Hooters Restaurant/Lounge and Hooters Inn/Motel

(Hey, I am the DisMates Official Dirty Old Man, why can't I carry the job title to over here?)

[vital]

Well, I got a phone call from my dad today. My grandparents are well into their 80's so I was expecting the worse. My dad sounded like he was upset and had been crying so I braced myself for the news he was about to give me.

[vital]

My grandparents want to take the whole family on a cruise this summer! An 8 day Eastern on Carnival Liberty! This will be the 5th time they've done this. They pay for the trip and all we have to pay for is the "extras". I'm so excited! I called my boss and asked if I could have off and he said of course. I was worried about taking 2 cruises without any vacation time for the Oct cruise and he asked me if I'd lost my mind even thinking of not going on both of them! WooHoooooo! I'm so excited! We leave out of Ft Lauderdale and go to San Juan, PR; St Thomas; ANTIGUA; TORTOLA; and Nassau. I've been to all but Antigua and Tortola! Now I don't have to freak out about missing something on St Thomas since I'll be there 2 times in 3 months!

Of course, y'all know me enough to know what my next thought was. Holy Crap! Now I really have to get into shape and fast!:scared1: I'm so excited! My sister and I have been looking at all the things to do on Antigua and Tortola. I need to take some Nyquil tonight so I can get some sleep!:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :dance3: :dance3: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: pirate: Sorry, I told you I am excited!

[vital]

Oh, my dad sounded upset b/c he has a horrible head cold!:lmao:

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Vital,
What great news! You are very fortunate to have your grandparents let alone go on a cruise with them:thumbsup2
You have enspired me to start my exercise program.
Can we go yet???
Angie:tink:

[Disneygrl36]

Great news Paula......how exciting 2 cruises in one year. I so wish I still had my grandparents too, but mine were never as cool as yours...mine would have never set foot on a cruise boat. :cool1: :thumbsup2 for your cool grandparents.

Wonder how Kimmie's date is going?????????? Hope well. :banana:

Maria.........you must let me know if this SECRET works.

Well, we live in a terrible city really. We went to see the Queen as planned....amazing Helen Mirren is THE QUEEN. WOW. The guy who played Tony Blair was pretty good too. Had a lovely dinner at Bonefish & then went to the martini bar & IT WAS CLOSED :confused3:. We tried a couple of other places, but they weren't the atmosphere we were looking for so we ended up back at home to :drinking1. Oh well, that is what comes of living in a HICK town.

I know what you mean about not having much to do after 1100. I live in the capital for Pete's sake and there's nothing to do if you are over 28. There are the usual sports bars, heavy metal band bars, but no dance clubs, martini bars or anything like that for the non-college crowd. Oh, there are dance clubs, but you have to wear bullet proof vests to go there.

[vital]

Have any of you been to Tortola or Antigua? I'm having a hard time deciding what to do in those ports. We'll probably just stay on the boat in Nassau. I don't like that place. It's out last port so I'll probably spend it packing to go home! LOL!

I'm so excited~!:banana: :cool1: :woohoo: :yay: :cheer2: pirate:I'll calm down in a few days.:cool2:

[PaDisneyCouple]

Very happy for you Paula. :banana: :woohoo:

Haven't shot many matches this season, due to work. So, given the circumstances, yesterday went quite well. Chris is still at the gym:yay: , while I just got back from swimming a few laps and sitting in the hot tub. Many sore parts to loosen up. Might go to the local fairgrounds for a garden show this morning, then hockey tonight. If the Bears score 6 or more goals, we're going to Hooters! 10 free wings per ticket stub.

:bride: is home, so time to unload groceries from the car.

Sean

[ohsodisney]

Paula, WOOHOO :woohoo: YIPPY I'm so excited for you:cool1: :banana: :cheer2: . We did 2 cruises in 4 months last year and it was great, a bit over whelming thou. I really never unpacked from the first one :) I have never been to either island but I can't wait to hear what you think of them and what you did. I hear they are both beautiful. did you look up any photos of them? My first thing I would be doing is pin pointing shark attacks in that area, but thats just me I do it everytime we go to new island since my phobia is sharks :rotfl2:
I am a bit sleepy today, can't seem to shake it. I really would like to get to the gym but i can't seem to get my butt off the couch. Barry is going to Sams Club with the girls and I really should go so I can pick up some coffee and creamer., were out and thats probally my problem. I NEED COFFEE ! :coffee:

The Secret, I will let you know how it goes for me. I am always always upbeat and smiling 95% of the time, my nickname was smiley all through high school. I never surround myself with depressing peps. I try very very hard to look on the bright side of things and the woohoo's seem to be part of the whole secret, I wanted them, dream it and can have them. Same goes for many many other things, I WILL be going on the Womens only vacation, and this is also part of the attraction theory. I never say I will never have it. I say I WILL have it! This cruise is same same when I think about it since DH said we won't be going again for many years I said "Oh yes we will" and here we are going in 7 months :)
You guys really really have to see this!!!!! There is 2 more installments that apparently get much deeper then the first and I can't wait to watch them.

O.K enough babbling for now guess I am waking up :dance3:

[Kimmielee]

My grandparents want to take the whole family on a cruise this summer!
:dance3: :woohoo: :yay: :cheer2: :banana: :cool1: That is awesome news!!! Are they adopting? :idea:

Have any of you been to Tortola or Antigua? David's honeymoon was in Tortola. So... I will never get there... lol. However, a woman that works for me just returned from these same ports! I'll get some advice from her for ya!

O.K enough babbling for now guess I am waking up :dance3: When my girlfriend was listening to me vent about David's issues with the ex... and how I handled it... she told me I was living "the secret". I didn't understand what she was talking about until she told me about the power of positive thinking and how it can turn things around. Needless to say, he has much less to say about the ex...and negative things and MUCH more to say about Kimmie and positive things! It's working for me!

Now for the big news.... I'm engaged!! No... just kidding... but wow did we have a good time. He brought me flowers... :flower3: The room had a chilled bottle of champagne waiting for us... and roses on the pillow for me. It was a very romantic Inn, with a wonderful view of the Blue Water Bridge that connects Michigan to Canada. Dinner was a window table with a view of the bridge and the night lights from Canada. It was the most romantic weekend I've ever had. He's definately sweeping me off my feet. We are both exhausted (a good exhaustion) and I just sent him home. I can't find Noah! He's with his friend but the friends Dad isn't answering his cell .... so, I sent tired David home to rest. We will have dinner with Noah here at my house on Tuesday.

We did a lot of talking about our future and doing things to ensure we have a solid one.... things are moving fast, but that's ok with both of us. One isn't dragging the other along... ya know? :love:

Now I don't have to freak out about missing something on St Thomas since I'll be there 2 times in 3 months!

Of course, y'all know me enough to know what my next thought was. Holy Crap! Now I really have to get into shape and fast!:scared1: I'm so excited! My sister and I have been looking at all the things to do on Antigua and Tortola. I need to take some Nyquil tonight so I can get some sleep!:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :dance3: :dance3: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: pirate: Sorry, I told you I am excited!

That is awesome!!! :thumbsup2

[rer1972]

:dance3: :woohoo: :yay: :cheer2: :banana: :cool1: That is awesome news!!! Are they adopting? :idea:

David's honeymoon was in Tortola. So... I will never get there... lol. However, a woman that works for me just returned from these same ports! I'll get some advice from her for ya!

When my girlfriend was listening to me vent about David's issues with the ex... and how I handled it... she told me I was living "the secret". I didn't understand what she was talking about until she told me about the power of positive thinking and how it can turn things around. Needless to say, he has much less to say about the ex...and negative things and MUCH more to say about Kimmie and positive things! It's working for me!

Now for the big news.... I'm engaged!! No... just kidding... but wow did we have a good time. He brought me flowers... :flower3: The room had a chilled bottle of champagne waiting for us... and roses on the pillow for me. It was a very romantic Inn, with a wonderful view of the Blue Water Bridge that connects Michigan to Canada. Dinner was a window table with a view of the bridge and the night lights from Canada. It was the most romantic weekend I've ever had. He's definately sweeping me off my feet. We are both exhausted (a good exhaustion) and I just sent him home. I can't find Noah! He's with his friend but the friends Dad isn't answering his cell .... so, I sent tired David home to rest. We will have dinner with Noah here at my house on Tuesday.

We did a lot of talking about our future and doing things to ensure we have a solid one.... things are moving fast, but that's ok with both of us. One isn't dragging the other along... ya know? :love:

Glad to hear things are going so well Kimmie. So, in all this talk about the future did you bring up having a wedding in WDW?;)

[PaDisneyCouple]

Kimmielee-
So happy to hear that things are going well. You got a WHAT out of Christine when she got to the engaged line. Then, she saw the rest of the post. When :groom: :bride: does happen, Chris says it has to be on DCL. She says that she can talk all the other ladies into wearing lime-green bathing suits to the wedding. (sorry, not from wickedweasel- she has her limits) Time to go to the gran' old hockey game.

[ohsodisney]

Wow, Kimmi. I am so so happy for you. You are such a sweet heart and I am hoping only the best for you pixiedust:
Sometimes things do move fast , Barry and I are a good example of that. 2 weeks into our relationship we did the cruise together and everything else fell in place. Are you sure he can't come along with us? On the other hand I know the beginning of relaionships, all that mushyness, the go get a room stuff, snuggling, and we may not even see you much and your cabin may not get cleaned :lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl2: .

[Disneygrl36]

:woohoo: Kimmielee :woohoo:
Things sound great.....I just love romance :love:. Every couple moves at their own speed. I also say :thumbsup2: for a wedding on the beach with not a lot of wedding hoopla to deal with at home. We did that & it was awesome. I wouldn't change it for the world. We are discussing a WDW vow renewal at 10 year though & allowing the whole famdamily to come to that if they want since they didn't get to see us get married in Jamaica.
I am so happy for you Kimmielee. :banana:

[vital]

Yay Kim! I'm so happy for you! I have one question, can I be the sitter in Hawaii? I promise you wouldn't see the kids until you sent for them. I'd have them surfing, volcano hiking, pineapple picking, hula dancing, pig roasting and learning the ukalali!:lmao:

[disneyfanforever]

Hi everyone!

Is there room for a few more? I just put down our deposit about 10 minutes ago, and I am so excited to be going on this cruise.

It will be myself, DH, and our 2 boys who will be 10 and 6 at the time.

We have been on 2 previous Disney cruises. One was a 3 day on the Wonder and the other was a 7 day E Carib in 2005. We met a great group of DISers on that trip and I can't wait to do the same on this cruise. That is, if you guys don't mind a few more in your group.

Hop on aboard! My son will be 8 when we sail!

[vital]

I'm staying strong with the exercising! Haven't weighed myself yet. Just don't want to be discouraged if the scale hasn't moved. I do feel like my scrubs are a little looser in the leg area! That's where my biggest problem is, my thighs.

Well, I need to shower. I probably smell like a goat from all the sweating I did this morning. :lmao: ::cop:

[PaDisneyCouple]

Doing some group statistics today, as I'm off :surfweb: . I counted 28 different groups. Each bolded DIS name was counted as a different group. Counted CF (though not yet booked, we know you'll join us :thumbsup2 ). Total number of cruisers, including DisneyFanForever = 103.
Our 10/26 madness tournament is over. We had our top seeds, bubble resorts, and those left out. Eliminations took place over the last 2 weeks. I shall now place the call to book the winner for our 10/26 stay. :banana:

[A fat english gent]

My grandparents want to take the whole family on a cruise this summer! An 8 day Eastern on Carnival Liberty! This will be the 5th time they've done this. They pay for the trip and all we have to pay for is the "extras". I'm so excited! I called my boss and asked if I could have off and he said of course. I was worried about taking 2 cruises without any vacation time for the Oct cruise and he asked me if I'd lost my mind even thinking of not going on both of them! Woooooooo! I'm so excited! We leave out of Ft Lauderdale and go to San Juan, PR; St Thomas; ANTIGUA; TORTOLA; and Nassau. I've been to all but Antigua and Tortola! Now I don't have to freak out about missing something on St Thomas since I'll be there 2 times in 3 months!

Of course, y'all know me enough to know what my next thought was. Holy Crap! Now I really have to get into shape and fast!:scared1: I'm so excited! My sister and I have been looking at all the things to do on Antigua and Tortola. I need to take some NyQuil tonight so I can get some sleep!:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :dance3: :dance3: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: pirate: Sorry, I told you I am excited!

Welcome,and anything they all tell you about the Nutty English bloke is all lies,honest......:confused3

[PaDisneyCouple]

AKL Savannah view. We stayed at AKL prior to our 2005 cruise, so there is a nostalgia component. Due to the celebration of Botswana's independence day, the place was overbooked. They offered up upgrade us to GF, but DW wasn't feeling well after a long day of travel. A bunk bed standard room overlooking the port o' cochere and above the ME luggage depot was found for us on the Ostrich Trail. It sounds worse than it was. Now we can see the animals, as well as eat at Boma. :cool1:
Now we begin the Southwest stalk :tiptoe: . And attempt to figure out excursions.

[Kimmielee]

Welcome,and anything they all tell you about the Nutty English bloke is all lies,honest......:confused3

Any information you need about the Nutty English bloke can be found by doing a search... you will find him to be conservative, keeps his thoughts to himself, an IDEAL husband that always does the right thing by the wife.... just a shining example of manhood! :lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl2:

:wave2: Love ya Chris!!! :worship:

[ohsodisney]

Sean. I am jealous. We stayed in the Savannah room view last year for 4 days prior and LOVED it. I can't remember which part we were in but we saw giraffe's, ostriches or something like that and some sorta cow. I wish we could stay there again but we are trying to stay within a budget this time. The girls went nuts when they saw the bunkbeds, it made their day :)
Our friend Brian came along for the first leg of the vacation.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. You guys definitely seem like a friendly bunch. Looking at the size of this thread, it looks like I have a lot of reading to do to catch up on what's going on.

PaDisneyCouple, our September 05 Eastern was the most incredible vacation. The DISers we met there were so friendly. Our group had ice cream bar eating contest, photo albums for kids, t-shirts for kids, and even a big scavenger hunt with prizes on a sea day. It was just so nice to get to know everyone that I had spoken to over the internet for months. Our tablemates even ended up being DISers that I had spoken to over the internet. We were so surprised.

I think going over Halloween is going to be fantastic. We celebrated Halloween one year at Disney World and had a blast so I know the cruise will just be spectacular.

[PaDisneyCouple]

I've done some research on the regular board today :surfweb: . Anybody in the group done any of the following excursions: St John Eco Hike, St Martin Butterfly farm :hippie: , or CC Kayak tour?

[PaDisneyCouple]

And now, for some random thoughts from Pa::fish:

For those among us who enjoy chocolate...we're currently working on a batch of Hershey Bar Choocolate brownies. We buy the BIG BOX at Sam's Club. Enough packs for 5 batches. Kisses, chunks of bars, etc in each pack. Multiple Hershey bars worth. :hyper:

Watched POC DMC Saturday night. It was ok, but I thought the first one was better. Even with the TV volume turned way up, we still had trouble hearing parts. And the fortune teller/witch/whatever she is: need subtitles.

The movie did give DW her pirate: night idea. At least, her idea for now :scratchin . Me, I'm worried how we're going to get all this stuff to Orlando and on the :boat:

In closing, in an attempt to make the cruise seem even closer: :coffee: I believe T-180 from 10/26 is 4/29/07. I know we'll be calling that day to make our PS plans at Boma. ::yes:: See, its closer than we thought!

:groom:

[disneyfanforever]

We did the Butterfly Farm Tour on our Sept cruise. We enjoyed it, but we are probably going to do something different this time.

I remember it was very hot with all the netting around to keep the butterflies inside. We got some great pictures of the kids holding butterflies, but it wasn't as easy I thought it would be to actually hold the butterflies. Most of the time they would just fly away. The tour of the island was interesting as well, and we got a chance to shop too.

[Disneygrl36]

Congrats on booking AKL Sean & Christine. Guess I will have to join you in the airline stalk....I hate that part of planning. It always stresses me out & I go ahead & book pretty far out most times because I start freaking out.
I can call March 27th to try to book us in at Wilderness Lodge through DVC.
Yep, we can call April 29th to book dining for Oct 26th. We are doing MNSSHP & thinking about doing Liberty Tree Tavern. We did that last time before the party & it was good & it was cute to see the characters in their Halloween masks.
I am on the SPA section in my Passporter....can't wait to decide what fun things to do in there. I think I know what I want for excursions too but may change my mind after reading more in the Passporter.
Can we go yet?????

[PaDisneyCouple]

I think our spa time will only consist of the REAS length of stay pass to the Rainforest Room. I might get a neck and shoulder rub if they have them by the Quiet Cove pool, as they did on our 4-night. Chris had such a positive experience with the personal training last time, that is where her focus is. I've been researching excursions off-and-on today. And been looking at the 2007 Eastern Navigators that were recently posted on the DCL info page (link at top of screen). You're right, I think its time for some Passporter time.
Sean

[vital]

Since we are going on a cruise in July *heehee* I'm only doing one excursion with DCL. That will be the Doubloon sail and snorkel. Since we're going to be at St Thomas for 11 hours in July, we're going to hit the pirate castle and take the ferry over to St John's. I'm much more relaxed now about the planning. I'm pretty much sold on going to see the airplanes land almost on the beach in St Maarten. I've been looking at things on CC, but I think I'm just going to chill. Ethan will go to the kids beach and let me have some of my last day alone. He told me the other day he knows I have to have some alone time every now and then. I almost fell off the couch!

I have to brag for a second and show y'all the excursion I'm going to take in Antigua if it's not booked. It's a private company and not overcrowded. Check it out!http://www.adventureantigua.com/tour.html

We'll do the Eco Tour!:beach:

[ohsodisney]

Christine, you seem alot like myself as far as the gym goes and fitness in general. Hopefully we can take some classes together, it is always more fun with friends. :) When my friend Deb goes with me it seems as thou the time on the tread goes by so quickly. I would like to start toning now since I am below my ideal weight. I am NOT however a fan of weights especially doing anything that involves the arms, legs fine arms not. Barry is trying very hard to help me out since I am not use to free weights.When I worked for Ballys they had all the computerized weights which for me was easier

Hesrhey chocolate, that sounds good to me. I have to figure out what we can bring now. The only thing we are well known for is salt, anyone want some salt? :rotfl2:

Paula, WOW, it is gorgeous, Yes I am jealous, did I say that yet?

We probally won't be doing any spa time. I was lucky enough to win a full massage at Bingo last time and I have to say I am not so sure I would have paid $150.00 or so for it.

Good Lord I got stuck in the driveway AGAIN. Last week I left it near the road and someone came to the door and asked if I need to be towed out. How nice was that? They own the onion fields behind us and we only met them once. I LOVE the country, everyone is super super nice. This time Greg towed me out, I was really really stuck and almost in the road. The wind was 40-50 miles an hour today , near whiteout conditions so I couldn't make it into work. I did try to go but while getting on the highway I came to a complete stop and couldn't see a darn thing.

The girls are awaitng their bedtime story so I must go.

[vital]

Good grief! It's still snowing there? Our temps are in the 60's during the day and 30's at night. Still too cold for me at night!

We are quite the opposite in fitness. I'd much rather do weights. Arms more so than legs! LOL! I hate, hate HATE cardio. Sucks in my book. Lunges make me want to scream. I'm still getting up at 445 and exercising! Hooray for me!:cool1:

[ohsodisney]

Paula, have you decided what you are going to do in Tortila?

Paula, have you decided what you are going to do in Tortila?

Going to see the Baths. I've been looking at pics and it looks awesome! It's actually on Virgin Gorda which is just a ferry ride away.

[Disneygrl36]

Bring something from your home state???? Is this for the grown-ups? I'm thinking little bottles of Jack Daniels unless someone might be offended by that. :lmao: Let's see what else is made in Tennesse....besides country music. Goo-goo clusters, moon pies????? Going to have to do some serious thinking about this now.

Hmmmmm, so do you guys want bags of Frito's or Nachos w/ cheese and peppers? :teeth:

[ohsodisney]

I drive standard only, I would like it in white since my current car is black and ALWAYS looks bad. I like bells and whistles but you can cut a few things out but a sunroof is a must, oh yes and heated seats.

Coney's, nachos, hmmmm. I guess I could steal some meds from the ER for tummy problems!

Have I mentioned the fact that I'm ready to go? I have to go get one huge suitcase since I'll be flying in July. I wasn't going to do formal night but since the Grandparents want us all to dress up for a family pic I have to. Blah! On our cruise, how many of y'all are going fancy? I was thinking maybe semi-formal. I guess it depends on my mood that day. Do y'all know what port we'll be in that day? Or is it the second day, the one at sea?

I'm off to wash off the goat smell! :dogdance: Imagine it has horns.

[ohsodisney]

Hi paula, I never get all hooped up. I have a short coctail dress that I will wear on formal night but we are going to try and book Palo that night. Last time we were lucky and got in. I bring lots of tees, board shorts, cotton dresses and cargo shorts and stay as casual as possible throughout the cruise. I think I was in my bathing suit 75% of the time. Barry pretty much does the same. I know I will need to go buy him some clothes before the cruise as he never ever buys himself anything new.
Well off to my hair appointment , time to go a bit blonder, with my brown streaks. No cut this time as I really want to grow it out a few more inches. I actually cut my hair last night just so my dresses would hack it off. I'm sure it is crooked but oh well I wear hats most of the time.

School is on a 2 hour delay AGAIN!!! This is becoming absolutley rideculous. Is Spring here yet? http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_6_1v.gif

I am suprised you all know about Coneys, so many people have no clue what a white hotdog is :confused3 :rotfl:

Rer, where are you from again?

Sean & Christine, we use to have the Nestle Factory but sadly they closed their doors 2 years ago :sad: I LOVED the smell of chocolate when we took the girls to the park, believe it or not it even over powered Mc Donalds.

Coney's are also known as chili dogs. A hot dog with chilli, onions, mustard... they can get really fancy in Chicago and they add saurkraut, hot peppers, coleslaw, etc.

I wouldn't do the Dolphin over All Star Family Suite - you lose the Disney touch. Just sayin.... :)

Dinner with David and Noah tonight... I'm cooking... what was I thinking????

[A fat english gent]

Ta love......can't decide...:confused3

ps...And Noah's crime for said punishment?....."Clean your room or i'll make you have pudding too"......:rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl2:

Coneys are white hotdogs otherwise known as Snappys.

White hodogs?....You guys taking the mick out of the Fat fella right?....do you mean the meat inside the bun is white like chicken?....:)

[pjpoohbear]

Chris, I am around. I read every night, even visted the floss webpage, wow!

[ohsodisney]

Chris , yes it's white. Not a bright white mind you. I LOVE these, very popular up our way .

[PaDisneyCouple]

And now, for a few random thoughts...

Christine wishes to clarify her thought about gifts from home: she's thinking a Polyanna-type swap. You wouldn't have to bring a gift for every DIS Moon Cruiser. Of course, in the swap, we'll be receiving Kimmielee's gift :lmao: .

Dolphin vs All-Star suite: we vote for whatever Hazel wants :thumbsup2 . If it was us, we'd chose the Dolphin, since its so close to so many great places to eat and you can walk to the back entrance of EPCOT.

Moved up a gear on the planning front, but falling behind Paula in the exercise race.

Cruise wear: Formal? I think not. Hoping DW brings her collection of tropical print dresses for most of the dinners. I'll have a suit for Palo and formal night. I'm already plotting how I can maximize its use.

Based upon the Passporter and info from PJ: Formal on an Eastern should be day #2, our first day at sea (10/28). With the powers of PJ pixiedust: , and the PLAPLAP rotation, we'd be in Lumiere's that night.

We now must depart this talk of fine dining on the High Seas with our friends, and make our dinner of spaghetti and meatballs.

:bride: :groom:

[vital]

White meat? On second thought, I'll pass. I don't like mystery meat! I have a hard enough time eating hotdogs as it is so white ones are completely out of the question!

After busting my **** exercising this morning, what do I come home and do? Dig into a box of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies! AAAAAAAAAAAGH! Oh well, a few won't hurt. Besides, PMS would be miserable without some chocolate!

We have to go to boyscouts in a few. I'll be back later!

Good luck tonight Kimmie! I'll be thinking about y'all!

[ohsodisney]

I couldn't find any great way to describe coneys so here is a wonderful link to coneys and salt potatoes.
They are 100% pork no by parts like hotdogs
http://major-smolinski.com/TALEfood.html

[rer1972]

Hi paula, I never get all hooped up. I have a short coctail dress that I will wear on formal night but we are going to try and book Palo that night. Last time we were lucky and got in. I bring lots of tees, board shorts, cotton dresses and cargo shorts and stay as casual as possible throughout the cruise. I think I was in my bathing suit 75% of the time. Barry pretty much does the same. I know I will need to go buy him some clothes before the cruise as he never ever buys himself anything new.
Well off to my hair appointment , time to go a bit blonder, with my brown streaks. No cut this time as I really want to grow it out a few more inches. I actually cut my hair last night just so my dresses would hack it off. I'm sure it is crooked but oh well I wear hats most of the time.

School is on a 2 hour delay AGAIN!!! This is becoming absolutley rideculous. Is Spring here yet? http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_6_1v.gif

I am suprised you all know about Coneys, so many people have no clue what a white hotdog is :confused3 :rotfl:

Rer, where are you from again?

Sean & Christine, we use to have the Nestle Factory but sadly they closed their doors 2 years ago :sad: I LOVED the smell of chocolate when we took the girls to the park, believe it or not it even over powered Mc Donalds.

TEXAS!:teeth: I get to try different things cause this place is full of folks from everywhere. :thumbsup2

[disneyfanforever]

I have never heard of a white hot dog. It just seems wrong. I don't think they sell them where I live because surely I would have noticed with all the hot dogs my oldest DS eats.

Does this cruise group have a name or anything? I noticed the thread title said Cruising around the Moon- A Magical All Hallows Eve, and I was wondering if that was our slogan. My kids are so excited to be going over Halloween. Are any of you adults dressing up? I don't think my DH or I have the guts but if everyone else did, we would most likely cave to peer pressure.

ohsodisney, I can't even imagine living by a Nestle factory. I think I would have just stayed outside all day long and smelled the air. I would have wept when they closed.

Since I am new and you guys are so nice, is there anything I need to know about you all? I don't know if I will have time to read all the posts (these kids seems to want my attention when I am not working)

[Disneygrl36]

Paula.........formal night we will be trying to go to Palo as Eric doesn't want to the do the tux thing but will be fine wearing a suit which as Sean is planning to do he will probably wear again on Semi-formal night. I will probably wear a dressy type dress but not a FORMAL gown both places.

White hot dogs sound yucky to me....a coney to me is a chili dog from the Sonic.

Thin mints........yummo!!!! I am avoiding girl scout cookies at all cost. I won't make eye contact with them as I walk into Walmart. I am after all trying to stick to my Weight Watchers diet. Now if only I could get my butt in gear excercising like Paula.

Hope all went well with dinner at Kimmi's house...and that Noah & David had a nice intro.

Disneyfan, We are kinda calling ourselves the Mooners I suppose. :confused3 .
I know many of us are dressing up. I have a costume for the Pirate night and a Minnie costume for Halloween. I know Barry will do neither.

I will try and help with more questions later but right now I need my coffee :surfweb: :coffee: and start getting the girls ready for school.

[Kimmielee]

My dinner last night went off without a hitch. Having David here was so nice. He brought Noah some books - POC story book and a pirate coloring book and Noah loved them. ::yes::

He asked David simple questions... saved the hard ones for me after he left! We ate dinner (it turned out yummy!) and then they went in the living room while I cleaned up the kitchen. I heard them chatting... it was cute. :)

Then we played Disney Scene it and Noah womped our butts! It was a great night and having my two favorite males together was a treat. :cool1:

David and I are going to dinner and the movies on Thursday.... I think it's safe to say... we can now officially call this a relationship with great potential for more. :lovestruc

So.... how has everyone else been for the last month? :lmao:

[A fat english gent]

Kimm dear you read like a book.....:rotfl2:

[Disneygrl36]

PJ those wristbands are cool.
DFF....my hubby & I will be dressing up for Halloween..it's my bday after all. We will probably just wear pirate tshirts on pirate night though. :pirate:
Ask away & we will try our best to answer.
Kimmielee so glad last night was a hit & you are now in an "official" relationship. :woohoo:
Christ did you count up everybody's posts????? I need to be more prolific in the posting dept it would seem.

[disneyfanforever]

Cool wristbands!

Kimmielee, I don't know you yet, but congratulations on a great evening. There is something so exciting about that first year of a relationship. Of course, I now wonder if my DH truly is the same guy I met in that first year of our relationship. I asked him the other day what happened to that sweet, romantic guy I dated, and he said that guy has spent over 10 years with me, had kids, and is now just trying to survive. See, isn't he so romantic?:love:

Someone mentioned bringing something from their home state. Well, I live in Arkansas, and I can't think of single thing exciting here so I have no idea what I would bring.

Since we finally put down the deposit on the cruise, I have decided it is time to get serious about losing weight. Maybe since I am telling you guys that I am trying to get in shape, I will stick with my diet and exercise. At least, that is what I am hoping.

[vital]

OK, I asked some guys at work if they could tell if I've lost weight and they all looked at me like I was crazy. My scale is broken so I don't know if I have. I told them it wouldn't hurt my feelings and they all replied, "that's what my wife says too!" Oh well, I'll have to go buy a scale I guess.

I like the bracelets also. Just as long as they aren't orange/white swirls or orange/blue swirls. Y'all know I'm crazy, but those are Tennessee colors and Florida colors! Now, if anyone wants to order maroon and white swirls, I'm in! Seriously, I like the idea of the orange ones since it's halloween. I also thought the glow in the dark ones looked cool!

I booked the Antigua Eco Tour yesterday! I'm so excited! I've never done something like that before! I broke down and let Ethan use his new snorkel that has a water guard over the top in the tub last night. He also had his goggles on. I'm trying to get him as comfortable as I can using them before we cruise. I know he'll enjoy snorkeling. I just don't want him to drown when he sees Nemo and tries to tell me about it underwater:lmao: . I don't know if y'all have seen the snorkels with the cover over the top of the tube to prevent waves from coming in it, but it's pretty cool. I'm going to have to go back and get my own now.

Well, I must shower and get ready for the world! Have a good day!:banana:

[ohsodisney]

My friend at work yesterday was asking alot of questions about my ex's , which is fine but it seemed to have brought back bad memories so right after work I went to the gym. OMG I did 90 minutes of cardio, I think I am broken today :rotfl2:
This appears to be a busy day. I have to go to work and then pick up the girls along with my friends daughter Jordyn. We are going to Pizza Hut afterwards and then we are off to her basketball games. Yes, I somehow got wrangled into kids games already. Her Mom and Dad both want to see her sisters final game so I said i would take Jordo to hers. Holly and McKenna are so excited to see her play as well. Hopefully after that I can get to the gym.
I'm sure I will not be checking in much today so have a super day everyone :)

PJ . I really like the wristbands. We had similar ones on our last cruise and they were super easy to spot especially since after the first day I'm sure we won't be wearing the t-shirt. We did have the glow-in-the-dark ones and the girls thought that was the neatest thing ever :) Count us in .

Disneyfan. See I'm not the only one whoes husbands lost that loving feeling :rotfl2: , not that he doesn't love me but it really isn't the same. We have been together for 7 years married, I ask him if he has the 7 year itch LOL :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: Mine would just be happy if I stop asking him for money :) . Honestly he is such a sweetheart and would do anything for the girls and I and with him away Mon-Thurs it makes the weekends special.
Well if I made no sense throughout this it is probally because the lack of caffine in my body.
Time to get the girls ready
Bye all.

Checking In, I have been swamped, then the computer crashed:scared1: :scared1: :scared1: DH had to send it in to be overhauled and it cost us a fortune to have our pictures extracted NOTE TO SELF: ALWAYS SAVE PICTURES TO DISC!!!!!!anyhoo, I am back in business now. From just reading the last page it seems as though wristbands are the new idea, LOVE IT!!( except I will NOT wear one that even comes close to resembling FSU colors LOL) and It seems as if CHRIS is still his usual down in the dumps, serious, prudish self:lmao:

Kimmiee and David sitting in a tree.........................................

ok, gotta run I'll peek in from work. Have a great one!!!

[ohsodisney]

Pam. My girls have been walking around saying" Kenna and Holly sitting in a tree....". so funny you should mention that because I was thinking the same with Kimmi and David. You must be my long lost sister :lmao: Of coarse the girls didn't learn the rest of it so I just had to finish it for them. OMG you would think it was the funniest thing I ever said to them. Kids, they are so easy. Now if just everyone else could get my incredible sense of humor :rotfl2:

Chris . You really didn't have to point out my I have no life posts. Really, I did think I was doing much better then last time, apparently not. But Kimmi and Paula sure are making me feel better, you as well.

O.K, off to work

[DreamCruiser100]

Hello, Just checking in. We are having some difficulty with our Disney Visa, long story but it has been canceled??? Yep, they issued the card, it came in the mail and then when I tried to activate it they said the account was under investigation for FRAUD??? ( it hadn't even been activated yet??) after 4 hours of phone calls and receiving HORRIBLE customer service we finally got a nice gentleman who was able to tell us that they flagged the account because after looking at the copy of our SS that we sent in, They thought it "looked" funny?? ( DH had laminated it when he was a teenager and the copy we made apparently looked weird to them??? OK no problem right..........WRONG!!!Now DH is FUMING as they want him to reapply, DH is NOT wanting to do this and if we don't, we may not be able to afford the cruise,excursions,tips etc without charging it and having to pay interest. SAY A PRAYER that I will be able to convince DH to work with them even though they have for the most part been RUDE and UNHELPFUL!!!, If I didn't want to cruise soooooooooooooo bad I would agree with DH but I am scared to death that he will want to cancel our ressies!!!

Hi thanks, i used to live in orlando then kind of moved all over the place with my job and now have been in Fort lauderdale for about 7 months.
Good to be back in the sunshine, we just took a wlak on the beach this evening! Still kind of chilly though!


AHHHH, one more point for me!!!!!!!!!!!:lmao:

[disneyfanforever]

DreamCruiser, I hope everything works out with your Disney Visa. I definitely hope you won't have to cancel your cruise.

vital, nice smiley you got there. I have never seen that one before. Is that available on this board?

I am so jealous of you guys that live in Florida. I would love to be able to walk on the beach anytime I want.

You got it! I've only used the mooning one. I could use several others, but I don't want to be kicked off. If we all made a pact not to be offended on this thread, maybe we could get by with some. Hmmm. Not the naughty ones though. Shoot, we've all seen the finger just driving to work every day!

[PaDisneyCouple]

We've made some excursion decisions: St John Eco Hike, and doing nothing on CC. Storms ruined our 2 attempts at CC in 2005, and we really haven't experienced the island (except for the She Sells...).
Still uncertain about St Martin, though I now have orders: "if you see me :bride: heading towards, or talking about, the casinos, do whatever you must to keep me away. I have no interest in them." I think we'll explore Front and Back streets. It would appear that there's a beach there, too.

Of course these thoughts, like the pirate night outfit idea, could change at any time. :lmao:

Scheduled the annual mower maintenance today. One step closer to warm weather. :banana:

:groom:

[disneyfanforever]

vital, what exercise plan are you doing that has levels? I have got to get into shape before this cruise and would love to know.

You guys have probably already talked about this or it may be just way too early, but are any of you guys making door signs for the cruise?

Also, is there a list somewhere that has ages of the kids in our group and whether they are boys or girls? It is probably right in front of me, and I am just not seeing it. I just wanted to see how many are around my boys' ages.

Thank goodness it is Friday!

[dizzi]

my exercise for yesterday was walk on the beach while eating an ice cream cone!
Guess i need to do a few of these:yay: :yay: :yay:

Thank goodness it is Friday!

I'm doing the Power 90 by Beach Body. I used it before and lost 30lbs. I let personal problems get me down and gained some back, but I'm in the groove again! You can check out their site beachbody.com and look to see if there are better ones for you. I like a mixture of things to keep me from getting bored!

[Disneygrl36]

Hoping things get better for ya Pam. We know you now, so you gotta come with us.

Love the mooning smilie.

Where the heck is Maria??????? MIA

Would love to be walking on the beach right now......I am SO glad it's Friday.

Considering excursions now too Sean. Reading that section in my passporter. I think we really would love to relax on the beach at St John & I would love to do the dolphin encounter just not sure I can talk DH into spending that much money on an excursion.

I am a VOL (sorry Paula) so orange & white wristbands are fine with me. I think PJ said someone from the states would have to coordinate that, so I guess we need to decide that sometime in the future.

CAN WE GO YET??????

[vital]

OK, for all the SEC fans.......let's make a deal....
No alligator chomping, no pig suie, no rocky top, no geaux tigers, no hoddy toddy, no roll tide, no war eagle.....and I won't bring my cowbell!:lmao:

[dizzi]

:scared1: :scared1: Just wanted to let you know after seeing myself and family listed on the "ROSTER" above, I feel the need to be forth coming with information now as to not confuse anyone later.................:flower3:
My DH is not actually my DH ,:scared: i always put DH just becasue it is easier than DFi and also i hate the word fiance and also becasue i really doubt at this point in the game we will ever do any thing offiicial.
We have known each other since preschool , our first kisses were each other in junior high school.....HE IS MY DH, i guess just not on paper....
okay nuff said...guilt gone!:confused3 :hippie:

[disneyfanforever]

Thanks for the list of all the people. It looks like we have a great group.:cool1:

I am all for playing nice regarding basketball (especially since my team has been really bad this season), but just wondering how many SEC fans do we have here?

vital, thanks for letting me know what exercise plan you are on, I will go check it out. I haven't heard of it before.

dizzi, it sounds like he is your DH to me. How cute that you and he had your first kiss together in junior high. That is so sweet.

I am so glad it's Friday. However, my DS has a soccer game 30 minutes away tomorrow at 8:00 in the morning so I am more than just a little sad that I can't sleep in. Oh well, at least I don't have to go to work.

[vital]

I'm a Mississippi State fan. I'm a football fanatic although I'm impressed that our basketball team beat Kentucky today! There were about 5 of us with a patient and his mother in the waiting room watching the last 3 minutes of OT. I work at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, which is Ole Miss, our biggest rival. I'm one of 2 State fans there so we have a good time during sports! I just checked our schedule and we are playing Kentucky the 27th and off the 4th. I guess we all know what I'll be checking on during the sail away party! I wouldn't doubt it if my son would rather watch the game than be on deck!:lmao:

I also noticed we play Tennessee this year at home on the 13th. We get season tickets every year so we'll be there if you come down Melanie!pirate:

[ohsodisney]

Melanie. I am still here , been reading alot but haven't had alot of time to post. Barry comes home on Fridays so I try to spend as much time as I can with him and the girls over the weekends. We are also thinking about just beach time at Megans Bay or St Johns.

I had a major guilt trip tonight. We went to Ruby Tuesdays and I ate a hamburger , fries and smashed cauliflower LOVE the cauliflower :love: It doesn't seem like much but I had to head straight to the gym when we got home. I never eat like that except maybe once a week. I even thought about the lava cake they have but was a good girl and came home and had a spoonful of Smuckers mocha chocolate sundae sauce. :)

Pam, NO WAY GIRL ! You tell hubby to get that straightened out . I got yelled at when I almost back out, so you are going to be NO different!!!!! Plus you are part of our family now :)

Does anyone use the Philospohy line of products? I have a bad bad addiction to Philosophy products and Fresh products I use them up like water. If you have never tried any of these you absolutley must they are the one treat I give myself. Most of them remind me of vacations I love the coctail line of shampoos, YUMMY !

Dizzi , your honey sounds like a hubby to me as well.

Disneyfan , we are Big East fans of coarse. GO ORANGE :woohoo: , althou not looking so good this year. :sad2: As far as the door signs go, no not me , I have not a stitch of craftyness in me nor the patience. Pam has already asked I need her to do our tee shirts thats how bad I am. Good Lord I am dreading my girls school projects already :rotfl:


OMG you guys it may crack 50 degrees here next week :dance3: :banana: :cool1: :yay:

Pa, Barry has mentioned the casinos to me already. I am not so sure since last time we sat down and all 3 times the person next to us won.

Well I think I made up for my lack of posting the past few days.

Good night everyone and have a wonderful weekend :cloud9:

[vital]

Maria, you should try LUSH! They rock! lush.com but you can't tell Barry I told you about them.

[rer1972]

Some evil person turned me on to freesmileys.org and I've never looked back!pirate:

[rer1972]

You got it! I've only used the mooning one. I could use several others, but I don't want to be kicked off. If we all made a pact not to be offended on this thread, maybe we could get by with some. Hmmm. Not the naughty ones though. Shoot, we've all seen the finger just driving to work every day!

These exercises are getting easier! That means I'm getting into shape!:yay: I'll have to start on the level 3-4 soon!

Ok, gotta run. Have a grand Friday!pirate:

You're just dying to give someone the finger aren't you????

Try a monkey butt instead...

What's a cowbell go to do with a Bulldog anyways?:confused3

[Disneygrl36]

Paula, we will call a truce for the sake of peace on the cruise. I am a bigger football fan than any other sport, but we rarely go to the games. Rocky Top can get annoying....DH heard it years ago on a trip to Ireland in a pub imagine that.

Maria, glad to know you are still around. I was missin' ya.

Ronnie....cute monkey butt!!!!

DFF...we will definetly have door signs. I made them for our last cruise & it was fun coming back to a decorated door.

Dizzi...if you've been smoochin' since Junior High..you might as well be married. :love: Who cares about a piece of paper.

[Disneygrl36]

never mind i am a goofball

[vital]

What's a cowbell go to do with a Bulldog anyways?:confused3

Mississippi State was/is the "agricultural" university. It's known for the vet school, engineering, agriculture and teachers. When football first started there were cows that grazed in the pastures by the field that had cowbells around their necks. Don't ask me why, but someone rang one at a game and the rest is history.

Got it? Good.pirate: Now don't make me finger you!

[vital]

HAHAHAHAHA! I just read my last post and thought about editing it but decided to leave it alone and see what comments I get!:lmao:

[A fat english gent]

You know when someone asked about who'd be the first for a ban:rolleyes1 ...Morning lady's,have a great day.....:)

[disneyfanforever]

The monkey butt smiley cracked me up.

vital, I think my Razorbacks play your Mississippi State today. Cowbells and Calling the Hogs, you can't get a classier combination than that.

I am sure we will have door signs. We had some on our 05 cruise and my youngest DS had a blast helping me make them.

Well, I am off to my DS early morning soccer game. Fun times!

[vital]

GASP! How does one make a door sign when the cruise is a secret? It's easier to keep it a secret now that the "other" cruise is being planned. Hmmmm, I guess I could have him make some pirate things and save them. thinking.....thinking......thinking........pirate:

The cruise is a surprise for my son. I'm picking him up from school the Thursday before the trip and will have the car packed. I'm just going to start driving and see how long it takes him to figure out we aren't going home. When he asks where we are going, I'll just casually say, "Disney World" and wait for a scream or something. I'm sure I'll pull over before I tell him so I can get a pic of the moment. He won't know about the cruise until the day of the cruise. We are going to WDW first for MNSSHP. I've kept it a secret since July. I hope I can continue!:banana:

[dizzi]

THAT IS TOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool1:

[vital]

Thank you! I think so too. It's basically just us 2 and he's a world traveler already. He's been on 2 cruises, one Eastern Caribbean and one Western Caribbean and now he's returning to the Eastern! You can add a weeks trip to WDW last year, at least a week on the beach of Gulf Shores, AL and many day trips to New Orleans. All at the ripe old age of 7. He's also been to New Hampshire during Christmas break to see my dad. He passed on the snow skiing though, said it was too cold! :lmao: When he gets older, I'm going to take him on a cruise to the Galapagos Islands. I want him to be old enough to appreciate it.

[A fat english gent]

Take a big bow all you single mums who choose to make sacrifices so that you can give the kids in your lives a good,happy rounded upbringing....way to go lady's

ps...Ryan and Rosie have no idea about the REPO so i think we will ask our servers on the last night to bring them each a REPO T-shirt under a silver salvo sit back and watch their faces when they realize their going to CALIFORNIA.....:rotfl2:

[PaDisneyCouple]

Paula, can you adopt me? OK, I'm a little too old. I can be your babysitter on your world travels. That's great that you are able to show Ethan all these places. My parents took us globetrotting when my sisters & I were young also. Mmmm... maybe I shouldn't use the word globetrotting. Good old US of A...i've seen the majority of it. also did a school trip to western Europe. (not the UK)
That's a great idea from Dizzi about making a Halloween door sign...maybe Pirates or Mickey could be incorporated. (But not Pirates and Mickey-that would be suspicious)
Chris, that's a great idea about surprising the twins! I would love to see that!

Off to the gym now. By the way, this Time Change sucks! :sad2:

I'm going to have a conference with his teacher when school starts and tell her/him. We don't have problems taking kids out of school for family vacations here like other states. I'm going to give him a couple of waterproof disposable cameras and let him do a report on the things he learned on the trip. In the kids club they make flubber and do other educational things. I'm going to take him snorkeling and let him tell about the fish he sees. I'm just going to send him to school like any other day and come home and pack. Can you imagine packing the day you leave?:scared1: Neither can I so I'll let you know how many things I forget:lmao:

Hey Paula... I make Noah a "journal"... it's all Disney related... has pages for the first days at WDW and then each of the ports, includes word searches, etc... as his "homework" so he keeps good notes of our travels and has something to show his teacher. Since I'm already making one for Noah... I can make one for Ethan too! :woohoo:

Also, I'm trying to find a Disney "kids" book about the cruise... I know they make them about the parks... but not sure one exists for the cruise. If not, we should write one!! :surfweb:

[Kimmielee]

By the way, this Time Change sucks! :sad2:

I'm so confused... what time is it, really? Is it 10:47 a.m. (Eastern) or have there been enough time changes that it really is 11:47 a.m.??? :confused3

I'll take you up on that:flower3: . I'm not too crafty. It was going to be a spiral notebook with a photo album! Yours sounds much better!

[disneyfanforever]

vital, your son is going to be so excited when you surprise him with the cruise. I could never keep a secret that long. How cool.

Chris, what repo cruise are you going on? I am sure you have probably said, but I don' think I have read it in any of the posts I have read. I would love to go on a repo cruise. Your kids are going to be thrilled.

I have already spoken to my kids' school about the cruise. I expected it to be a big deal, but they didn't seem to mind at all. She just said have wonderful time.

Right now, my boys are bouncing off the walls because they are getting to go with their grandparents and my sister to Disney World in less than 2 weeks for Spring Break. DH and I have to work so we can't go. I have never been that far away for an entire week from my kids before. But I know they will be well taken care of and will have an incredible time. I am, however, very jealous that I cannot go.

My Razorbacks are getting absolutely killed by Florida right now. I can't even watch.

[A fat english gent]

Were booked on the REPO return to Florida next august,me Hazel and the twins....:)

[dizzi]

this time change really sucks, made 3 of my employees late for work today!

[dizzi]

I think i will do something with a book for my kids too, so they can return with something great for their teachers, and class...GOOD IDEA!!!!!

[dizzi]

To be honest, SADLY, i dont care what the teachers or principle think of me taking my kids out for a family vacation. I just go in and tell them this is what we are doing, you can allow them to have the missed work before hand or after they get back or excuse them from doing it. the choice is up to them, but choose one. OF COURSE, this is ALL done in a very caring tone!:goodvibes

[dizzi]

yes i know this is my fourth post in a row just trying to catch up to Kimmilee!
AND I HAVE A WAYS TO GO, BUT i love a challenge!

[Disneygrl36]

I like the extra hours of daylight....even though the time change always messes up everybody's internal clocks.

We went shopping yesterday...had to get something to wear to my cousins wedding the weekend after Easter. We had dinner out & then went for a martini in the downtown Hilton....a nice lounge but no entertaiment outside of tv's & 2 martini's cost us 20$ (17 for the drinks & 3 for tip) :scared1 so after one drink we came on home.

Nice weekend but as always too short.

I second Chris' statement of kudos for you single Mom's. You guys rock & your kids sure are lucky.

I think we have narrowed down our excursions to St John Island tour or EcoHike & Dolphin Encounter or Rhinorider on St Marteen.

Still thinking about the spa suite but man is it expensive. If not that then we will do Rasul & maybe a week pass to the Rainforest room & maybe a massage.

Can we go yet??????

[A fat english gent]

Morning people....BUMP:)

[vital]

Thanks for all the kudos for being a single mom. It's hard sometimes but we have a lot of fun. I'm just glad I have a career that I can provide for him and do the things we want to do!

I'm still busting my **** exercising. I even did it Saturday morning (not at 445 mind you). Hopefully when I show y'all pics from the July cruise I won't scare you away!:lmao:

Well, gotta run. It's spring break here and I have to pack Ethan's lunch and get his bathing suit packed! It's been in the 80's here this weekend but they still swim inside right now.

Have a good Monday!pirate:

Oh yeah, I'll be dressing up for Halloween and Pirate night.

[Kimmielee]

Thanks to everyone (as Paula said) for the kudos for being single Mom's. Also, as Paula said, I too am lucky to have a career that allows us to afford the fun things in life. My son is a blessing to me and I'm not sure I would have seen in that way in my early 20's. I was 38 when he was born and went through so many life changes prior to his birth that it made me who I am today! :goodvibes

David and I took Noah and his friend to the park for some much needed outdoor time yesterday. It got to be 50 degrees here!! :cool1: We even went for ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery. Oh my... that's heaven in a cup. I didn't eat my whole serving (which was small) but I did satisfy the ice cream screamer in me! :lmao:

Ok, off to work... since I worked all day Saturday and was on call until 6:00 p.m. yesterday... I missed the weekend! :sad2:

[DreamCruiser100]

In TEARS.....PLEASE PRAY!!!!!


DH CANCELEDour Ressie!! and got a refund for the deposit. I am soooo ANGRY, and HURT and well I don't know what else. I understand his reasoning but he has NO IDEA how much this trip means to me.
I am still working with Disney to get this all solved and I WILL rebook WHEN it gets CLEARED UP, I am not sure if DH will be mad or not but right now I just WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please pray that I can get this solved IT IS SOOO UNFAIR!!!!!!!

I am trying to calm down and I know that I still have time to rebook, although I am sure it will be more expensive. PLEASE PRAY,SEND PIXIE DUST!!! If my cruise gets ruined because of DISNEY VISA, I am fixing to raise some H@!!

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. I am now going to call the Disney Customer Relations line and see if there is anything more they can do.

[A fat english gent]

WOW....Hope everything gets sorted for you.....refresh us,what happened with the Disney visa?.....:)

[DreamCruiser100]

We paid for our deposit in cash and planned on paying for the rest on a Disney Visa which we had been APPROVED for ( we have very good credit). When the Visa card arrived in the mail we headed down to the TA office to pay for the cruise and at that time called the 1-800 number on the card to ACTIVATE it. When we called they told us the card had been canceled for SECURITY reasons?? After about 4 hours of phone conversations HORRIBLE customer service and the run around we finally were told that the account had been flagged and then canceled due to FRAUD??? HUH??? apparently the copy of our SS card we sent them "LOOKED" funny?? so instead of doing any investigating with us they decided to cancel the card saying they were just PROTECTING US. After over a week of more phone calls, MORE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND UNKEPT PROMISES my DH had enough and will no longer work with them to get this resolved ( they want him to reapply and he thinks that is ridiculous as they had already approved us and only flagged the account to "protect" US from fraud. Well I have still been working with them but today when the TA called him to see how things were going he CANCELED the ressie and asked the TA to send us a check. DH will not put the cruise on a credit card with INTEREST and I only talked him into it because of the Disney cards NO INTEREST and Rewards program. WE do not carry balances on credit cards and DH is now so angry that he is in the JUST FORGET ABOUT IT mood. I am going to continue to work with the VISA people ONLY because this cruise is SO IMPORTANT TO ME!!!! I am not sure if DH will be angry or not so I am going out on a limn. I am praying that WHEN this gets resolved and I have activated card in hand he will be ok with me REBOOKING, but I am scared to death that we will not be able to get a decent cabin and will have to pay WAY more than we origanally did. I plan on calling the Disney Customer Relations office to see if they can send any pixie dust our way.

KEEP PRAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ohsodisney]

:) Pam, oh no I am so so sorry. I will definetly pray for you . I know how excited you were when you joined our group. I am sending lots and lots of pixie dust your way pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: .

Sorry I don't have much time to read all the posts I have missed. Today is going to be 55 degress so I am jumping in the shower and heading out for a walk. I am so ready for Spring and don't want to miss a moment of this day :sunny:

Have a great day everyone :)

[A fat english gent]

I have to say am with "both" of you here i too would have told them to shove it where the sun dont shine as in my line of work i can't/won't suffer fools gladly...my take on it would be "you sort it love and i'll still go" ....

ps..."but i ain't paying anymore"....sorry if this don't sound too sympathetic but you know us blokes and are pride,hope it works out for you......:rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl2:

[DreamCruiser100]

Thats what makes this SOOO difficult. I AGREE with DH but I have been busting my **** losing 100 pounds and this was my REWARD!!! I have been planning for months and I just can't imagine having to cancel. My mind totally agrees with YOU AND DH, but my heart just says DO WHATEVER IT TAKES!!!

Pam


P.S. ok, where are all the emotional, understanding females when you need 'em:confused3 ,;)

[A fat english gent]

Ok just re-book the bloody thing,us men ain't the brightest things god ever created you know and their are more ways to skin a cat,only the mention of "the SPARE ROOM" is looking like it needs a coat of paint or leaving a catalog open on the "APPLE CATCHES" pants page would be enough for me...their that's me showing me feminine side,or is that me you showing my selfish side?......:rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl2:

[disneyfanforever]

Pam,

I am pretty new to the group, and I am so sorry to hear about this. I definitely hope everything somehow gets worked out, and you are able to go.

I can tell you if I had lost 100 pounds, I would definitely be taking the cruise if it was my reward that I had worked so hard for even if I had to go by myself. Heck, if I had lost 100 pounds, I would make DH take me on a trip around the world. That is just so incredible. I am trying hard to lose weight (even though I just started) for this cruise, and no one is taking it away from me.

I can't believe Disney VISA has had such poor service. They definitely need to make things right, and I hope everything works out. Good luck, and let us know how things are going.

Pam,
Christine and I will be hoping for all the best. I'll share the fortune from Christine's cookie yesterday: A long term goal will soon be achieved. You achieved your goal to lose weight already, now you'll achieve the goal of a cruise with Mickey.

i wish i could just loose 20 pounds, every day i say i am going to loose it and then by the end of the day i say i am going to do it tomorrow, what made you get started and keep doing it?
It is so hard for me at work i worj in a restaurant, bagel and coffee shop, cream cheese, cookies, YUM...and when i am hungry it is soo easy to reach for soemthing unhealthy. And as of latley i try to eatfruits and vegies but it doesnt fill me up.:confused3

[dizzi]

We had a beautiful day here today, dont know what the temp was, but it like perfect.:goodvibes

pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: for Pam pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust:
I soooooo hope everything works out for you with all this mess. We have a Disney Visa & have never had a moments trouble, but you never know I guess. I have lost 50lbs in the past year & so I know how hard you must be working to loose/have lost that much weight. You deserve a reward & I hope you get it....plus we have already gotten to know you some & would be sad not to have you along.

[disneyfanforever]

For all of you that have been able to lose so much weight, I would like to know how you are doing it as well. The temptation is already killing me. Right now though, I am exercising and eating right, but that is what I always do...for a little while and than I completely lose willpower. Anybody have any great secrets to weight loss they would like to share? I would love all the help I can get.

[vital]

Ok Pam, here's the plan. You give me your hubby's cell phone number and I'll act like I'm from Disney Visa and tell him that everything is taken care of and to enjoy his cruise!:lmao: Seriously, there's plenty of time for us to persuade him to join. I'll buy him a drink or two and if he doesn't drink, I'll chip in on the Rassoul for y'all. That may loosen him up a bit!

I need to go find my child. He's outside and it's starting to get dusky, mosquito time!pirate:

[DreamCruiser100]

Thanks for all the prayers and pixie dust!!

VITAL, you never know I may have to take you up on that offer;)

As for the weight loss, I have lost 78lbs so far and it has NOT been easy. I gained over 100 pounds with my pregnancy, due to complete bed rest for 8 months and steroid shots daily ( long story,she is my miracle after 4 miscarriages in a row) anyway after gaining so much in such a short time and then going thru some bad post partum I ended up not only keeping the weight on, but since I then became a stay at home mom,depressed and unable to do the active things I enjoyed I just "accepted" myself and ended up weighing in, well lets just say at a size 24!!!! ( when I first became pregnant I was a size 7) Well....my lightbulb moment came at a woman's conference I went to. They had asked us to write down what we LOVED to do, not what our family loved or taking care of our children etc...but what I as an individual loved to do..........well I just couldn't think of anything except stuff that included my DD or DH. I began to CRY!! I realized I had FORGOTTEN ME??? ALL ABOUT ME??? AND WHAT I LOVED??? I then remembered things like racquet ball, water skiing, hiking, just general outdoors fun and since I had had my weight gain I no longer did ANY of these things. It was then that I decided to get down to business. I AM VERY FORTUNATE to work as a director for the YMCA so I was able to hire our very BEST personal trainer whom I work out with 3 days a week, I also try to do cardio EVERYDAY. I still have days that I screw up, and definitely have times when I don't want to do anything, but having my trainer to talk to and cheer me on is really what keeps me headed for my goal. I also use MyFoodDiary dot com, which is an amazing website for logging your food, exercise and telling you how healthy you are eating and what things you can improve on as well as giving you SMILEYS for doing a good job:woohoo: I HIGHLY recommend it and if you want more info you can PM me or just browse their website.

Well there you have it the whole sorted story:scared1:
I just know this has to work out !!! I will cruise in October, even if I have to hide in one of your suitcases:rolleyes1

[disneyfanforever]

Pam,

Thanks for sharing your weight loss tips. You have done an incredible job. Thanks for the website as well; I will check it out.

I noticed in your signature that you have stayed at all the Disney resorts. Wow! Which are your favorites?

Also, I noticed you mentioned the Florida Gators in your signature. Your team absolutely killed my poor little Razorbacks this weekend. However, I completely expected them to, so Congratulations!!!

Again, I hope everything works out with the cruise. You have definitely earned it!:cheer2:

Pam show him this post.....swallow the male pride (i do think he was right BTW)and re-book because your wife deserves this cruise and giving the finger to Disney is less important than not breaking your wife heart.....:)

[vital]

Good grief is it warm here! It's 0530 and 64 degrees! I really worked up a sweat this morning!
Oh, whenever y'all post during the day, I read but don't post from work. Don't feel like you've been abandoned!


:beach: Can we go yet? Please!pirate:

[vital]

Can y'all believe it's just about 6 months away?:cool1: :banana: :yay: :dance3: :cheer2: pirate: :hourglass

[vital]

I just had a horrible thought! What will we all do when it's over? Will we need to go to a shrink? Will I finally decide to move to the islands and have everyone down for a visit? Hmmmmm........pirate:

Paula would you like some poor English visitors on said island?:rolleyes1

[vital]

Paula would you like some poor English visitors on said island?:rolleyes1

I have a feeling if I did ever move there I'd want visitors all the time! I've researched it and found out I don't want to send my child to public school there. I don't know how much nurses make there or how much private school costs, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to afford it. I'm seriously thinking of going when Ethan has graduated. I'll only be 46! I think that's a good age to become an islander, don't y'all!?:banana: pirate:

The best therapy is to book another cruise and make sure some of your DIS friends are on it. I did from the DDD Geeks cruise. I am even staying in the same room with one of my tablemates.:cool2:

Come join Kimmielee, loves2shop (had to move her date), and us (sorry if I've forgotten anyone) on the 2007 Halloween Double-Dip!

dreamcruiser...I am soo impressed at what you are accomplishing:cool1:
you deserve a cruise fer sure!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dizzi]

It was perfect here again today, tomorrow i am off so maybe i can enoy some sunshine:goodvibes

[dizzi]

Who ever is in charge here, you know the person who is #uno, have you decided if we are doing anything special for Halloween. I have read on other threads that Dis people did soem great things for the kids last year.
I would love to help out!!!!!!!!!

[dizzi]

Has anyone decided what they are wearing for Halloween costumes, both for children and adults?????????

[Disneygrl36]

Paula, I like your way of thinking. I would love to be an island girl. I WILL live at the beach someday. :cloud9:

Way to go on 78lbs lost Pam...that is a great accomplishment.

For DFF....I have done Weight Watchers to loose mine. It has been slow coming off, but I feel good to have lost 50lbs in a year. I haven't really still been excercising like I should so I need to get busy on that & I really hope to loose more before our trip rolls around.

Hoping one way to fight the blahs after the cruise by staying in touch with the DIS buddies I make on this one. :teeth: I doubt we will book another cruise while on board like we did with this one. I really want to go to California or Europe for our next big vacation.

[disneyfanforever]

I was wondering about Halloween also. Are we doing anything special? From reading another thread also, it looks like the DIS festivities were better than the actual cruise line activities last year. I would love to help in any way I can. I am sure both of my kids will dress up for Halloween. As what, I am not sure. I don't know if DH and I will wear costumes yet. It kind of depends who all else here is dressing up. We could cave to peer pressure. I think it would be a blast to dress up but I don't have the guts to unless DH dresses up too.

Thanks for letting me know what diet you are doing, Disneygrl. Two of my co-workers are doing that, and I am kind of looking at points as well. I thought about joining but unfortunately, the one closest to me takes place the same time as my youngest DS's soccer game each Thursday. Congrats on all your weight loss again!

[vital]

I'm on a float for the St Patrick's Day Parade here. The guys on the float go to New Orleans to get the beads. I've got them looking for pirate beads for us on the cruise. I'll let you know this weekend (if I can type Sunday:rolleyes1 ) what kind we got. I'm also up for making goodie bags of the kids favorite candy. I hate seeing stuff go to waste so we can list what our kid's favorites are *and ours too* and get only what is liked. I'm driving so if someone wants something and doesn't want to pack it, let me know and I'll get it.

I'm going to dress up for halloween. I'm leaning towards that witch pic I showed y'all or Little Red Riding Hood since I already have the costumes.pirate: Of course I'll be getting a pirate wench costume as well!pirate:

[dizzi]

Disneygirl..we plan for our next big vacation (after this cruise) to be to Europe also, we plan on going in the late summer of 2011. I know it seems so far off, but we have to save. I am sure we will be doing little trips each summer until then. We went to Paris (me and DH) about 1year and 1/2 ago, we only spent 4 days which was not near enough, my Dh went on business so he spent 2 days working while i explored on my own. It is a very AWESOME experience, i cant wait to take my kids.

[Disneygrl36]

Definetly dressing up for Halloween.....Mary Poppins & Bert will be reporting for Halloween duty. If we are all going to dress up, it might be fun to do a Halloween costume group photo....what do ya'll think???

Will participate in trick or treating for the kidlets even though we don't have any & good idea about bringing only candy people like Paula.

Can we go yet???????????

I really want to do London & Paris (of course with a visit to Disneyland) at the least...maybe spring 2009 for us I am thinking. Have never been over the big pond. Will hope for good advice from Chris on the best places to go & especially great places to have my beloved afternoon tea.

I sooo have to work on a costume!! One year I was Mrs. Potts... lol. Talk about HOT!!

I do have one idea... but it will be a surprise. Paula... great idea about the candy. Noah is a Hershey's kid. Just plain Hershey's. Or M&M's... plain or peanut. His Momma... Likes ALL kinds of candy... oh, wait... this is for the kids right?

Can we go yet?????????????:yay:

[dizzi]

dsnygrl...everything about it was awesome you will love it. Well everything but the flight. Just soending that much time in a plane was horrible. Our goal / start of a plan is to do London/Paris and some other hot spots. we want to try and be able to go for a month.

[dizzi]

We definitley will be dressing up, adults and children, but just dont have a clue what yet. I think DD is leaning towards a cheer leader. But we have plenty of time for her to change her mind over and over again.

[vital]

Well, another morning another workout! I like anything mint/chocolate, caramel/chocolate, plain chocolate or skittles! I don't really care for nuts in anything (minds out of gutter Chris and Ronnie). When it's closer to the DAY, we can get a list together and go from there. I really don't mind packing my car with food! LOL!

Well, off to shower. Hope y'all have a great day!pirate:

[dizzi]

My kids like chocolate (NO PEANUTS) skittles, laughytaffy, (anykind of taffy)And they are both big on crackers, chips and anything granola.
